Bill Clinton understands why people love Palin

By KAREN MATTHEWS

Bill Clinton said Monday he understands why Sarah Palin is popular in the heartland: because people relate to her.

"I come from Arkansas, I get why she's hot out there," Clinton said. "Why she's doing well."

Speaking to reporters before his Clinton Global Initiative meeting, the former president described Palin's appeal by adding, "People look at her, and they say, 'All those kids. Something that happens in everybody's family. I'm glad she loves her daughter and she's not ashamed of her. Glad that girl's going around with her boyfriend. Glad they're going to get married.'"

Clinton said voters would think, "I like that little Down syndrome kid. One of them lives down the street. They're wonderful children. They're wonderful people. And I like the idea that this guy does those long-distance races. Stayed in the race for 500 miles with a broken arm. My kind of guy."

I just figured Bill likes her because she's "hot."

Re: Last sentence.

I did find it rather interesting that Clinton couldn't control his use of the word hot when talking about Palin.

Re: Bill Clinton understands why people love Palin

Will Bill be reprimanded by Hillary when she notices the subliminal message?
